Condensed by Native Village nativevillage. rg There is a reason why I believe Monsanto to be one of the most evil companies on the planet, and this is in large part due to its activities relating to controlling food production through controlling the seeds to produce it. or nearly all of its history the United States Patent and Trademark Office refused to grant patents on seeds, viewing them as life-forms with too many variables to be patented. But in

Biotechnology giants like Monsanto continue to push their genetically-modified (GM) crop seeds on the nations of the world, in most cases bypassing the clear will of the people in the process. But some people have decided that enough is enough. For the second time in two years, a group of protestors has destroyed GM grapevines at a French vineyard, uprooting all 70 of the experimental plants before being arrested. esides causing damage to the intestines,

When we were up at the family farm, we discussed with the hubs dad, (the farmer) our frustrations with how badly our garden crops grew this summer. We had a really hard time with plants taking off, mostly because the soil was crap! The hub's dad recommended that we add some amendments to the soil, "green manure" he said. He gave us a huge bag of buckwheat seeds to take home with us. Growing cover crops to add some nutrients to the ground is an easy way to

The long range forecasts agree. We're in for a colder dryer winter than normal. Thank you La Nina! The weather so far has fit the forecast. Last week the rain gauge at the farm recorded a whopping . 16 inch of rain. We woke up this morning and closed the windows - 35 degrees with frost on the roofs. We usually don't get frost until almost the end of November. his may mess up my cover crop strategy. I sowed buckwheat on the newly tilled plots last week. We
Two Miracles

As Cora has mentioned on her blog, we are pushing hard to get 360 acres harvested; the ground worked; the drill filled with a special mix of cover crop seeds; and then the ground seeded before September 20th-which was yesterday. As Cora mentioned, the rainy weather has caused lots of problems for us as the 20th approached quickly and tensions mounted around here. hen late last Friday, as I pushed hard to get the 50 acre field disked up for seeding, it
Sloppy Seed-Sorting Main Culprit In Gm Crop Escapes
Found on www.scidev.net
SciDev. et: Careless handling of seeds may be the key reason for the unintended spread of genetically modified (GM) crops, a study has found. The discovery challenges the widespread belief that the main source of GM contamination is the transfer of pollen by bees from GM crops to non-GM counterparts in neighbouring fields. Human error during seed production and handling is the more likely culprit, say the researchers. Stands of non-GM crop plants are

What Does "Heirloom" Seed Mean?
Found on junglecitymommakat.blogspot.com
Farmers Markets are usually great sources of heirloom tomatoesI was shopping at Whole Foods with my parents, who are from Calgary this summer, and they seemed a little bit startled by the selection of tomatoes, are Yellow ones ripe? What is with the weird shapes? How do they taste? Fear of new food is natural, evolutionary, really. It is odd, though, that to my parents Heirloom Tomatoes are new, because, as the name suggests, they are very old varieties.
